The website says the hundreds of Claphamites have voted in the first ever local awards, with honours up for grabs for the best pub, bar, restaurant, shop and more. The Mayor of Lambeth was entered under the ‘Clapper of the Year’ category as I live in Clapham and represent Clapham Town Ward as a councillor.

I am absolutely delighted by the award recognising my efforts as a councillor and Mayor of Lambeth. One of my aims for the year was raising awareness of the Mayoralty and the many organisations that the Mayor visits this year and this award will help reach even a wider audience.

Thank you so much to all who voted for me. For a full list of winner visit the Love Clapham website.
